It feels so much better. I'm not sure why in particular or if it's a combination of a few things. I'll enjoy completing this again now.
Very disappointed with the inside xbox, I was expecting more og xbox games. It's been a years since the last batch.
Wow, playing Fable 2 felt like booting it up the day it came out back when I was in school.
No jaggies, super clean, framerate is definitely improved, at least in the main Bowerstone market square.
Absolutely fantastic!
Conviction is also freaking CLEAN, though it seems certain lights are bugging out now - minor flickering.
Downloading Fable 3 and alas gonna miss out on Blacklist, region locking.

Guess I can retire this question in the FAQ in the OP lol
Is Ninja Gaiden II BC yet?
No, and it never will. Get over it already.

As a long time defender of Sigma 2, absolutely.
They are very different exeriences, but both worthwhile.
Thanks for your gif response earlier, nabbed a used copy on the cheap.
Happy for you guys about NG2, though it's not my cup of tea, and the enhancements are cool—still was hoping for a few more games and a drop of OG Xbox games. Oh well.
My previously delisted 360 digital copy showed up as an owned game ob XB1 just now. I'm mid-install right now.
I don't doubt for a second that the backwards compatibility team gives it their all to be as productive as they can be, but for them to need the program to pause for 3 weeks in order to prepare or even finalize 6 X enhancements is totally a sign that the department is considerably understaffed for all the tasks they've been assigned between continuing a consistent output of 360 additions, the occasional X enhancements, and Original Xbox BC. I dreaded that the team would have too much on their plate when the expansion was first announced in 2017 and the gaps between X enhancements and the near dormancy of OG Xbox games only adds to that likelihood.
Sometimes you have to do a cold boot to refresh the cache that prompts the console to to and seek the file for the BC diwc
Our only hope for OG BC revival now lies in the E3 IX special. Doubt it will happen though, it'll probably be used for promoting E3 stuff. I won't be able to retire my OG anytime soon then.
Yeah, I remembered this from before and just did a hard reboot. It's installing now.
I didn't do a "hold the button down" reboot. Just went to the settings menu and did "full power shutdown."

Honestly I'm with you on that.
We were told from the beginning that the rights to these 15-year-old games were really hard to untangle - and so the amount of releases would be drastically less than what we've seen for the Xbox 360.
So now I feel like its time for a point-blank answer. Is this it for Original Xbox titles?
If so, its sad...but understandable. And I think the lingering question should be addressed. I really thought today was the day for more games.
That tweet doesn't directly address the specific glaring question of Original Xbox compatibility which is the main worry and disappointment myself and many others here have expressed.
Honestly what would you do if you knew what they were working on ahead of time? What's the point?
I know they are listening due to all the awesome most requested games they've released, including ng2 with X support.
THIS. As long as BC program is working than there's always a chance OG Xbox, 360 BC games and X enhancements will happen.
I mean, at least mine's a genuine reaction. You're just gloating and being a dick for reasons.
Someday I would LOVE to play through the Mass Effect trilogy again - yes, ME3 included - in enhanced 4K.
PLEASE MS!
PLEASE MS!
6 games. If you are referring to NG2, why not celebrate the fact that this is a gem for many people, only on X360 in low res and tanking framerate, finally has seen the daylight it deserves.. I mean, If Lost Odyssey came. I would be happy for those that like it, even if I'm not into it. That also is a game only for X360.
NG2 at long last is fantastic and those Splinter Cell enhancements are nice, but admittedly I was hoping for a bit more.
Max Payne 3 is still at the top of my list and its such a glaring omission considering pretty much everything else Rockstar put out last gen is BC.
No OG Xbox stuff is also disappointing.

1 game. I own an S. X enhancements mean nothing to me.
I am happy for those who wanted it. But i don't want it, therefore i'm disappointed myself. Especially after them saving those revelations for this show like they did.
And Lost Odissey is already BC. I know, because i own it.
Where are you getting 6 new games from? The splinter cells and fables were on my list long before today.
All three Splinter Cell games looks so crisp, clean, the character models especially. Very impressed. Still holding out hope for Chaos Theory.
So I guess we all have to start chanting "MAX PAYNE 3!" religiously in almost every single post for the next couple years, right?
It's fair if NG2 isn't everybody's cup of tea.
It was the only new BC release after a lot of hype, and there's surprisingly little bitching about it here.
If the BC announcement was for Rallisport Challenge 2 or Buffy, I'd be over the moon but probably most people here would be complaining. Can't please everybody.
I would happily sacrifice NG2 4K for the above games, btw, but what can you do
I still want BC game downloads on Windows 10, old Xbox Live virtualized for OG BC games, and System Link tunneling via Xbox Clubs for OG and 360 games.
I mean anyone could of told you that the OG Xbox BC run would be short lived. The rights to a lot of those games are so tangled up that it's almost impossible to bring those games back. Some of those companies don't even exist anymore and the licensing is in purgatory.
My fantasy-wish is for MS to figure out a way to basically bake in OG Xbox hardware into a SoC like chip so they can get hardware BC working on the Next xbox and sidestep a lot of the re-licensing issues. Yeah you would have to own the disc to play but I would rather that than not being able to play at all besides hooking up the old XBox.
There has to be a reason why rockstar hasn't done it yet. There just has to be
Max Payne Collection!
With Max Payne and Max Payne 2 remade from the ground up.
Yeah my bad, 6 games got enhanced. Not new for the first time. Lost odyssey enhanced would be great for them that want it. If you have S, I understand.
